    Note:
    You may be given a warning that your device cannot connect via SSL or that it cannot be verified
     
    Cannot verify server identity     Cannot connect using SSL

    The reason this warning comes up is because your device may be attempting to  connect to our shared mail server via an SSL connection using your domain name rather than the name which the SSL certificate belongs to.

    If this warning comes up, you may simply press continue.

    For more information about this warning, read our SSL certificate on shared email service article.
